yeah, the low-blood-pressure from quercetin was brutal on the job...
i'm really wondering if resveratrol has the same effect on blood pressure. it has a much shorter half-life, and seems to be mostly metabolized within 4 hours (link(1)), whereas quercetin has a 17-hour half-life (2), which is more typical of an anti-depressant that builds in your system...
they sell supplements that are 50% pure resveratrol and like 98% pure. I have the 50%. so perhaps i need the purer stuff...wish i knew what the other 50% was...i've heard there's emodin in there which is a laxitive...
